Life and Years'

Sut,-=Professor R. E. Tunbridge has written a most comprehensive survey in Life and Years: to add a further point may appear ungracious. While the unskilled worker presents a more difficult problem than the skilled worker, we find that the greatest difficulties are faced by the men and women who have been engaged in executive and administrative work. For two years, limited only by the resources available to us, we have been helping these active men,and _women to adjust themselves to new conditions. We have helped many to find either whole- or part-time, employment where their experience can be of service to the community.

The demand is greater than the supply. It will not be an easy problem to solve until every employer provides the means for greater flexibility in the use of his manpower. Until then we shall do what little a voluntary association can do for active experienced persons. To prevent boredom and frustration is not enough. The country needs this Chairman, Everyman's Leisure.
